WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
salicylic acid	HIGH
lactic acid	HIGH
gluconolactone	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: anhydroxylitol, arginine.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
xylitylglucoside	HIGH
anhydroxylitol	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (moringa oleifera seed extract, paeonia suffruticosa root extract, scutellaria baicalensis root extract). In theory, they could help neutralize free radicals in skin and lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun), but there is no evidence that these ingredients can have a noticeable effect in skin.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
scutellaria baicalensis root extract	LOW
moringa oleifera seed extract	LOW
paeonia suffruticosa root extract	LOW

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin	6% - 9%
salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)	1.25% - 2.5%
lactobacillus/papaya fruit ferment extract	2.8% - 4.2%
moringa oleifera leaf extract	2.1% - 3.1%
moringa oleifera seed extract Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might have some antioxidant effect	1.7% - 2.5%
eucalyptus globulus leaf water	1.4% - 2.1%
chlorella ferment	1.2% - 1.7%
paeonia suffruticosa root extract	0.95% - 1.4%
scutellaria baicalensis root extract A plant extract that might contain a compound baicalin that could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation in skin. The baicalin concentration in skincare products is often too low for an effective action. Can be used for its fragrant properties	0.5% - 1.2%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.5% - 1.15%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	0.45% - 1.1%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.85%
xylitylglucoside Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function	0.3% - 0.75%
anhydroxylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrir function	0.2% - 0.7%
xylitol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and repair the skin barrier function	0.15% - 0.65%
leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate A preservative that comes from radishes fermented by a bacteria. New research suggests that the preservation properties in the ingredient come from an ammonium salt that is not present naturally in radish root but used in its cultivation. Is problematic because the exact amount of the preservative agents is difficult to determine	0.1% - 0.5%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.1% - 0.35%
maltodextrin Used to stabilize the product formulation and can help absorb oil	0.1% - 0.35%
glucose Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Could be helpful in restoring the skin barrier function	0.05% - 0.25%
potassium sorbate A preservative	0.05% - 0.25%
sodium benzoate A preservative	0.05% - 0.2%
